If you repair an utterance, you correct or modify what you have just said, so as to make it more accurate or more intelligible. Repair can be selfinitiated or other-initiated. In the classroom, the "other" is typically the teacher, although it may be another learner. In non-classroom contexts repair may be triggered by communication breakdowns with other speakers. In this extract, between a learner and a native speaker, the speakers use three different kinds of move to try to repair a communication problem:展开更多

The main cognitive variables are INTELLIGENCE and APTITUDE, but MEMORY is often also included, as is the ability to utilize general learning mechanisms.(See also COGNITIVE STYLE.) An issue in this research area is how learner characteristics interact with teaching methods. It may not be, for example, that the intelligent learn languages better, but that they can benefit more from types of tuition which assume use of intelligence.展开更多

Reference is the relation between language forms and things in the real world. Some language is highly referential, in the sense that we can identify the particular person or thing that is referred to, as in That towel belongs to me, or The White House is in Washington. But, more often, words do not refer to specific things, but to concepts. Thus, in I need a new towel, the referent of the word towel is not a specific towel that I can see and feel.展开更多

A syllabus is an item-by-item description of the teaching content of a course. On the basis of the syllabus, a timetable, or scheme of work, can be drawn up. This in turn can generate individual lessons. Finally, the syllabus content helps specify what should be tested. A distinction is sometimes made between the curriculum, which is a general statement of educational beliefs and objectives, and the syllabus, which is one way that the curriculum is operationalized.展开更多

Second language refers to any language that has been learned subsequent to the acquisition of the first language (L1). Since many learners have more than one "second" language, the term additional language is sometimes preferred. Second language also contrasts with foreign language, especially in the terms ESL and EFL, where the former refers to the learning of English by learners who are living in an English-speaking environment and who need English in order to become integrated into that environment.展开更多
